If your Biostar Motherboard system shows no signs of power, such as the power light not illuminating or the fan inside the power supply not turning on, first ensure the power cable is securely plugged in. If the issue persists, try replacing the power cable. If neither of these steps resolves the problem, it is recommended to contact technical support.
What to do if Biostar P4M900-M4 Motherboard system is inoperative but has lights and spinning hard drive?
If your Biostar Motherboard system is inoperative but the keyboard lights are on, the power indicator lights are lit, and the hard drive is spinning, apply even pressure on both ends of the DIMM until the module snaps into place.
Why Biostar Motherboard doesn't boot from hard disk drive?
If your Biostar Motherboard system only boots from the optical drive and not from the hard disk drive, check the cable running from the hard disk to the disk controller board, ensuring both ends are securely plugged in. Also, verify the drive type in the standard CMOS setup. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important, as all hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.
What to do if Biostar P4M900-M4 only boots from optical drive?
If your Biostar Motherboard system only boots from the optical drive, but the hard disk can be read and applications used, back up your data and application files. Then, reformat the hard drive and reinstall your applications and data using backup disks.
What to do if Biostar P4M900-M4 shows “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure”?
If you see an “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure” message on your Biostar Motherboard system, review the system’s equipment and ensure that the correct information is in the setup.
Why Biostar P4M900-M4 Motherboard cannot boot after installing second hard drive?
If you cannot boot your Biostar Motherboard system after installing a second hard drive, set the master/slave jumpers correctly. Then, run the SETUP program and select the correct drive types. For compatibility issues with other drives, contact the drive manufacturers.
